Following Aayush Sharma's exit from Salman Khan's Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, speculation is widespread that Zaheer Iqbal, who was expected to star in the film, has also opted out. Earlier, if Zaheer was asked if he was a part of Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, he would neither confirm nor deny the news. As a result, according to these rumors, the makers may need to find two replacements.

Furthermore, there are rumors that Abhimanyu Dassani, who is currently promoting his film Nikamma, will be cast in the film. Along with that, Meezan Jafri is apparently being considered for one of the roles. However, neither the actors nor the producers of Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali have issued an official statement. While the film is said to have begun shooting, speculations suggest that the shoot schedule may be delayed due to changes in the cast.

Aayush Sharma reportedly left the film due to creative disputes, according to previous reports. Zaheer Iqbal, on the other hand, has never talked officially about his involvement in the film.

The movie has had various issues for a long time. Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali has gone through numerous changes in the past, including the production shifting hands from Sajid Nadiadwala to Salman Khan. Farhad Samji may also be replaced, according to speculations.
